Big sound, anywhere you are

There are two essential things you need to know about the Bose® SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker. First, it's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. And second, it sounds way, way fuller than it looks. Trust us on this. Its sound will fill a lot of living spaces with room to spare.

The Bose® SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker lets you take your music anywhere you go.

All your entertainment, streaming with Bluetooth® ease

The SoundLink® Mini connects wirelessly to your smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth device, so you can enjoy music from your personal library, thousands of Internet streaming radio stations, or services like Pandora® Internet radio while cueing up songs from your fingertips. The included charging cradle is a nice touch — it lets you keep the speaker charged and ready to grab, so you can slip it into a daypack and have your tunes close at hand anytime.

Unplugged or plugged

The built-in lithium-ion battery gives you up to 7 hours of play time, so the SoundLink® Mini can keep a party going, even unplugged. Or place it on a kitchen shelf in its cradle while you manage your news and entertainment listening from a tablet. All the while, you'll be listening to clearly defined midrange and highs, while enjoying bass response you probably never imagined would come from something this small.

Impeccable build quality

The SoundLink® Mini speaker is engineered with a solid, anodized aluminum housing and skid-proof rubber bottom, so it can stand up to everyday use and sit almost anywhere.

Accessorize for travel

Bose® offers a soft cover in a choice of colors to keep your SoundLink® Mini protected from bumps and scratches (while still looking stylish). And for your on-the-go adventures, you can get a compatible 12-volt car charger or power supply for those times when you're traveling light. You can even get a travel bag to pack your SoundLink® Mini speaker and its companion charger in.

I can easily imagine the Bose® SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker sitting happily in its included charging cradle next to the family's keychains and wallets, waiting for the “grab-and-go” moment on the way out the door. It's ridiculously simple to operate. It requires a tiny footprint — slightly more than your average Hershey bar — and it doesn't need wires. And it delivers a healthy helping of that legendary Bose® listening experience.

Features

Bluetooth (A2DP) Technology: The Bose SoundLink Mini
Bluetooth speaker offers built-in Bluetooth (A2DP) technology which lets you
wirelessly connect with many Bluetooth enabled devices; such as your iPod touch,
iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Blackberry, or laptop. You'll be able
to wirelessly stream music stored on your device or from music apps on your
device; like Pandora, iHeartRadio, MOG, or Spotify. And if you need to
multitask, you can keep using your device while you listen to music. Bluetooth
wireless technology has a range of approximately 30'. The SoundLink Mini can
pair up to six Bluetooth-enabled devices (only one can be active). If you are
using a smartphone, a phone call interrupts your audio source and plays through
your phone only. When the call ends, your music automatically resumes through
the SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker.

Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some
Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may
not support all features when used with the Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth
speaker.

Advanced Sound Performance: Proprietary speaker technologies
deliver your music in all its clarity with robust sound unusual for a compact,
wireless speaker. Its unique driver configuration allows the small, lightweight
speaker to reproduce deep, full sound.

Note: For best bass response, the back of the speaker
should be placed near a wall, but not directly against a wall. Bass response
decreases as the speaker is moved away from a wall. Do not lay the speaker
on its back. Sound is emitted from both the front and rear of the unit.

Aluminum Construction: The Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker
features a single-piece aluminum cabinet finished in silver with a black mesh
grille that is both attractive and durable.

Top-Panel Controls: The SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker features
simple-to-use top-panel buttons (Power/Volume/Mute/Bluetooth/Aux). You will
control all playback functions of your music from your connected Bluetooth
mobile device.

Aux Input: The SoundLink Mini has a side-panel 3.5mm
auxiliary input for connecting a external portable audio source other than your
Bluetooth-enabled device.

Rechargeable Battery: The SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker
is powered by a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A fully charged
battery gives you up to seven hours of continuous playing time in most
situations. The included charging cradle & AC power adapter recharges the battery and serves as a
convenient home base for the speaker, and it lets you play while
it
charges. An empty battery usually takes three hours to charge. The battery light
shows green when the battery is charged between 70-100%. Yellow indicates a
charge between 20-70%. And red means the battery is less than 20% charged.

Note: If a connected device stops playing audio for 30 minutes,
the speaker automatically turns off to conserve battery power.

AC Power Adapter: You can also plug the included AC power adapter
directly into the SoundLink Mini to power the Bluetooth speaker by standard
household current.

Input: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz,
360mA

Output: 12VDC, 0.833A Max

mini-USB Connector: The unit's mini-USB (type-B) port is
designed for downloadable software updates that may be available in the future.
By registering this product, you will automatically be notified of any necessary
updates.

Optional Bose Accessories: You can add a soft cover (018SLMCRVB, sold
separately) to the speaker; available in blue, green, or orange. You can also
purchase a convenient travel bag (018SLMTBBK, sold separately).
The Bose SoundLink Mini Car Charger (018SLMCHRG,
sold separately) lets you charge the Bluetooth speaker through your vehicle's
12-volt/cigarette lighter port.

Amazing Sound

The sound from this small speaker is amazing. Deep bass with no distortion. I didn't like Bose products before this as I found the sound a little muddy, but a neighbor had this and after hearing it, I immediately ordered one. You will not be disappointed in this product.

Pros:Easy to set up. Very portable. Amazing sound quality.

Cons:It takes a little maneuvering to seat the unit on the charger base, but there is an audible signal when you get it right. Very minor issue.

Bose Soundlink Mini Bluetooth Speaker

Bought this as a gift for husband and we both LOVE it! Synced with Macbook Pro and our iPhones fairly easily. Haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life yet, but love everything else about it so far. The sound quality is superb and it can play much louder than most people would usually play their music.

Bose Soundlink Mini Bluetooth Speaker

I absolutely love this speaker. It is all that I hoped for, in that, it is portable, great clarity, long battery life, and good looking. I bought it to use in the house, outside on the porch, in the motorhome, and on vacation. I tune into Pandora, and iTunes. The delivery was quick, even though I ordered just before Christmas. I did receive it in time for the holiday. Great product.

Bose® SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth®

I first heard this unit while traveling. A friend rented a mustang convertible and put it on the dash. In his hotel room it sounded like a huge speaker system was playing and all from this tiny box. I was sold. I bought one for each of my kids for Christmas and my niece. I get thanks almost every day. I still cant figure out how this teeny thing makes such huge base. Thumbs up, hats off to Bose.

So good I bought a second one

Bought this last year for my daughter for xmas...was so good decided to buy another one for xmas for daughter #2. Love the substantial build quality. Sound is very good, but no mistaking these small speakers for true high fidelity; none of them come close to a good set of small bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. Very portable but could be a little heavy for someone's luggage for a trip. The girls don't miss the lack of speakerphone connection; this device is for music, not talking. With their phones, this is the only stereo system they will need or want for quite awhile. My son on the other hand with his 500W subwoofer...

Pros:Very good sound quality. Substantial build quality. Easy pairing. No more pricey than other top bluetooth speakers.

Cons:Just a tad bit heavy given its size, but that results in the excellent build quality.

Bose sound link mini bluetooth speaker

I bought this for my son with the help of your chat line. I like it so much I just ordered one for myself. The reason I bought it he has an older car and he can use it with his iPhone and still use it at home

Bose Mini

Written By Kenny D., California on Tuesday, December 23, 2014

Nice little Unit here. I have had mine for Nearly a Year and really cant say anything "bad" about it. It performs Extremely well, even at Higher Volumes, If the Base is Boomy in the Music you might hear a little breaking up, but just reduce the Volume a little and its awesome. The Bass, Treble, and Mids are all pretty nicely reproduced. We just Moved things around at my Daughters House (2100 Sq Ft Home) the Living room area is about 600 Sq Ft, We walked in the other Night and not even thinking that My Son in Law also has a Mini, Heard Music coming from what sounded All Over the Place, I actually looked around a Bit then it Hit me, where's the Mini Hiding at?? He dosent have a Stereo System, It was in one Far Corner on a 4Ft Book Shelf just singing away, Probably 3" from the wall or so. This thing just sounded Awesome! The Lady's even wanted it turned Down?? And it wasn't up that High.

Excellent sound

I bought this for our kitchen to listen to music while we cook. The sound is excellent for something that is very small. The bass levels are nice but not too deep. The clarity is something I expect from Bose. The only thing that would make this speaker perfect is if it came with a remote for adjusting the volume.

Second unit

This is my second unit. The first one was left with my brother in Japan on my last visit there. In the meantime, I did buy BOSE SL III, which is bigger and more powerful, for useat home. However, I feel the compactness of SoundLink Mini is much better suited for our annual migration south to Mexico and have purchased this second unit for that purpose. No regrets! This SL Mini will be much easier to travel with than the SL III. I am happy withthe productas well as the excellent customer service of Crutchfield.

5 star and worth it

First, let me state that in the past, I found that Bose products are for the most part, overpriced with sound that while good, could be matched or bettered by others. Thus, I took the time to test various bluetooth speakers similar to the the Bose Soundlink Mini in the store displays, some even more expensive. This Bose clearly had the best sound. After my purchase, I found the unit very easy to connect, and the battery would easily last all day. The amazing thing is, no matter where I place it, on a table, in a corner, on a shelf, outside on wall, the sound was still great. I am very impressed and would recommend this speaker to anyone.

I have been listening to this speaker for a few month now, and I really like the sound quality. I have taken it to a few outdoor gatherings and people are quite surprised at the full sound coming from such a small package. The bluetooth has worked flawlessly for me (I have ipods and have used it with ipads, wristwatches, and Android smartphones).

Pros:Good sound
Long Battery Life
Compact
Well built

Cons:I cannot use it to wake up to music because of the auto-shutoff feature. I wish I could disable this pesky feature. Then it would be a perfect product.

Dope Sound!

The Bose SoundLink Mini has exceptional sound for such a small compact speaker. The bluetooth capability is super convenient and the bass is surprisingly full and warm. Lots of sound depth. This will surely please.

Worth Waiting For

I have been waiting to buy exactly what I wanted to sync to a playlist when traveling ~ and this is the BEST! Not only is the product exceptional - couldn't be happier - but the service is the BEST!! I have purchased from Crutchfield before and everything about this company exceeds expectations.

Amazingly Big Sound from Small Speakers

I am both an audiophile and pro-songwriter/musician, with both a Home Theater System and Home Recording Studio. So when it comes to anything audio I am very critical. I needed a portable Bluetooth speaker for iPhone, iPad, MacBook etc. As usual I came to Crutchfield's site to research and read other user reviews. The Bose Mini seemed to fit the bill and I ordered one from Crutchfield. In two days it arrived, and I must say it blew me away. Set-up was a snap. I paired it with my iPhone to test it and wow! Not only is it a beautiful product that looks like it was designed by Apple, this little puppy can really put out great sound, and lots of it. Easily fills a room with sound, and even multiple rooms in my house. It is light and easy to carry. I can't imagine any other small Bluetooth speaker beating the Bose Mini. I can't tell you how many people are shocked to find that the music they are hearing comes from such a small package. Not only does it have decent mid-range and highs, but the bass is incredible, providing the Mini is placed several inches or more from a wall, as the bass is ported thru the back grill. I highly recommend it.

Pros:Great sound. Easily to carry. Amazing sound. Beautifully designed. Incredible bass. Well built product. And did I mention how good the sound is?

Great little speaker

Big sound in a small package. This speaker gives portability without sacrificing sound quality. I have actually used it mostly in my family room so far and it sounds just as good as my main setup. You can't beat the convenience of streaming from your phone or tablet.

Great portable, well balanced sound.

I have had this for a few weeks and really enjoy it. It matches my iMac and connects great with the rest of my Apple iOS devices. the sound is clear and full all the way to max volume, which is just short of how loud I would prefer it to be.

Bose Soundlink Mini

Easily 5 stars. The sound is awesome for such a small speaker. Easily moved to anyplace in the house with no change in the sound quality. Highly recommended for anyone tired of listening to music or radio through lousy laptop speakers or headsets.

Bose soundlink mini bluetooth speaker

I listened to 7 other speakers in all price ranges, bigger and smaller in size and cheaper and more expensive. This speaker sounded the best of all the others. The bass is amazing for a speaker of this size. The bluetooth range is 100 feet, outside in the line of sight. I used a Samsung Note tablet and a Droid Max phone. The Samsung was the furthest at 110 feet. Battery lasts as advertised and the charging cradle is really convenient. This speaker is so small you cannot believe the big sound that comes from it. I had no problem connecting it to 3 different devices. It is very well constructed and I don't hesitate to recommend it.

Pros:*Big sound from a small package
*Well built
*Great range
*Good value

Bose SoundLink Mini

Create speakers - like the small size and big sound. Only issue is the volume is a zero when first try to connect, so makes it a bit cumbersonme connecting Bluetooth devices. Really just an inconvenience, though

Amazing little speaker

This is the second Mini sound link we've bought. The sound quality is amazing for such a small and portable device. I've been using another bluetooth speaker, but the quality of sound isn't anything like the sound of the Bose.

love it !!

after reading a bunch of reviews I really was scared to try the mini soundlink. There was several bad comments about it not having enough bass and it did not have enough volume to it . Well with it being a BOSE product I decided to but it anyways and take my chances. I was blown away with the performance and sound of this product. This thing has all the bass and speaker volume you could want. It sounds better than any I have tried. Buy it you will not be disappointed,

Bose SoundLink Mini

I bought this speaker a couple of months ago, and I have enjoyed it ever since. The sound quality is absolutely amazing for a speaker this size! The construction quality is top-notch, and the battery life is more than adequate. The charger is easy to use, and there is an input jack for a cable, if you don't want to use the Bluetooth connection. Thanks to Bose for a great product, and thanks to Crutchfield for offering a great product as well. Your ears won't be disappointed!

Impressive !

You pay the price, but you get premium quality. This unit is very impressive and the sound it generates just makes you scratch your head. How do they do it? Nice, clean design... even the charge cradle. Very happy.

Pros:Big sound from a little container; clean design; appears very well made.

Cons:Not a con, but would have been nice to include a carrying case. It would enhance the total product at very small cost.

Good Sound, Good Value

For years, I've enjoyed listening to my iPod on a Bose SoundDock. I recently came across the SoundLink mini and thought I would give it a try. It's only been a few weeks, but I am more than happy with the purchase. The sound is as good as can be expected from a battery operated speaker of this size. Nevertheless, the sound is good. What really separates the SoundLink from the SoundDock is the bluetooth technology. It allows you to place the speaker anywhere in a room or outside and maintain control of the bluetooth device in your hand. I particularly enjoy connecting to the Siruis app on my iPhone.

But it is so small

Written By GC, Charlottesville, Va on Friday, June 06, 2014

This little speaker is quite impressive. You can crank it on up and the distortion is minimal. It also can get pretty loud for those times when your in the great outdoors. I throw it and an MP3 player in my back pack, head for the mountains, and enjoy quality tunes while watching the sun set.

Pros:Great sound, small in size, soundly built.

Cons:Wish the battery life were longer, for those 3 day camping trips. Have to tote an external power source to recharge it after 6 or 7 hours.

Very Impressive

A very impressive sound -surprising for the size. Very easy to use and connect to your Bluetooth device. I like the fact that you can use a "wired" connection if you want since my MP3 player does not have Bluetooth connectivity. Played it for a friend and they immediately went out and bought one. Battery life is very good.

Bose® SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker

Have had this product about three weeks now - very satisfied. with speaker sitting about three inches from a rear hard surface, bass response is great. Not sure how the sound would carry in an outside situation. Pretty sure I have used this for more than seven hours now on it's initial charge with volume fairly high. - almost ready for a charge. Pricy, but good quality.
